What we do
Healthcare Carbon Literacy Training
Carbon Literacy is vital climate change learning that catalyses action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We teach the Science, the Impact and the Actions needed to become Carbon Literate.
Carbon Footprinting
Greenhouse gas emissions from healthcare are substantial. Carbon footprinting identifies the hotspots from your practice, business, organisation, product or process and helps plan towards a Carbon Reduction Strategy.

Help your organisation to net-zero
The human health and planetary health benefits of tackling our emissions and the climate crisis are well demonstrated. Inaction is increasingly fatal for both.
Following the Greener NHS plan launched in 2020, the Lancet report on carbon in the NHS and the HealthCare Without Harm report on Global road map for decarbonization, and the Greener NHS 5 year update in 2025, it is clear all facets of the healthcare sector need to take responsibility for their emissions and have their own roadmap to reduce environmental harm.
